St. Anthony’s expansion, which began in 2020, will add approximately 143,000 square feet to the hospital’s campus. The tower project is part of a multi-year expansion, renovation and relocation of hospital services. The hospital is licensed for 448 beds. 

The $152 million patient tower features spacious rooms to help make patients feel at home. In addition, the project includes expansion, renovation and relocation of hospital services, including: 

• non-invasive cardiology 
• pre-admission testing for surgical patients 
• three additional surgical suites 
• inpatient dialysis 
• new electrical plant 
• new classrooms 
• expanded loading dock 
• cafeteria and kitchen. 

The completion of the tower also marks the return of the hospital’s main entrance, which includes a covered drop-off area for weatherproof convenience. 

St. Anthony’s will relocate patient units and services into the new building on a rotating schedule in the upcoming weeks. Then renovations will begin in those vacated spaces. More construction is planned near the hospital’s emergency center during the remainder of the year.
